As best friends become strangers. - masterjb

As best friends become strangers.

I finally went back to see my old friends the other day. Back in Hackney where the clubs are so much better then this slum infatuated by the love of all things "gangsta" or by the idea that they are your average Essex boys and girl's.
Now I don't have many people I regard as friends. I have scatterings here and there but not many, not enough to throw a massive rave or something. But once I regard you as a Friend, your practicarly family, to me anyway. So it was hard going back to Hackney the other day because though the place I used to call home hadn't changed all that much, my friends had.
It's one of the disadvantages of going to uni and all that. But it was like we had no common ground any longer, no reason to talk to each other only the fact we'd known each other since we were small meant I could feel comfortable in the same room as them.
It was like being at school again with all them faces you knew, you know there names, you know what football team they support, you were there when they had a fight and at some point you've laughed and joked with them yet they were still strangers to me. I couldn't engage with them.
I can't help thinking I'm in that situation I hate, that time where you move on from those people you used to call bruv.
I dunno to some people its normal but for me its hard.

How was RISE?

Regarding your mates: everyone moves on, I guess, I don't think people really keep friends for life. I wish they did though.

I didn't make it to RISE my mum picked the night before as the ideal time to pick a fight with her boyfriend and ensure I never got any sleep whatsoever. Despite my protests that I couldn't give a damn what they were fighting about because they will make up next month anyway. Considering I wasn't getting paid to be there I considered sleep the better option and obviously I didn't go.

I know but when it happens so suddenly...

I wonder what Epube means, I'm already building immmature words out of the security letters, my entertainment is that great, you can't better it

This always happens when you and your friends are out of touch for a while, you end up having different priorities. I guess we all grow at different rates, and pretty soon, one of you will have outgrown the other person.

Spam Password?

On my own blog?

Mine says Hypog which could be like playing pogs while hyperactive. It could also be Hypo-G which be like some Hyped up gangsta like say 50 cent. Hyped up but doesn't look the real deal.

I've just been rejected by my own blog

New word Rizab?
